Utah time

Minus a few awfully oversized and hideous houses, this is my take on the view from our (awfully oversized and hideous) home-away-from-home. But other than my aesthetic and environmental complaints about the house, I really can't complain at all. It is a great location, and lots of space for all of us.

The biathlon team's annual Utah training camp has just begun. This is only my second year out here, but I already feel like its an October tradition. Its a great place to train. And once again I'm amazed by the the beautiful, subtle array of colors in the hills here. And then of course there are the aspens, which aren't subtly-colored at all, and are just awesome.

We're out here to get in some good altitude training, and also because there are two rollerski races out here next week that constitute the second half of the trials races for being chosen to head to Europe in November. And heading to Europe in November is definitely a goal of mine for this year! It would be the jump-start to my season that I was missing last year.

What is this blog?

Note: I am on instagram! If you like my blog but are tired of waiting forever for me to post, follow me @hdreissigacker

This blog started as a way to share my art and hopefully also to encourage me to make more of it. Then as my life got immersed in the world of biathlon, it came to be about that too. After all, the more you learn about something and the better you get at it, the more you realize that it is an art. I found that to be true of biathlon. But I have now decided to move on from biathlon, to have more time and energy for all of the other things I want to do. I'm not totally sure what I'll end up doing with my life or with this blog...maybe it will go back to being about art. Or maybe the new things that I do will take over. We'll see...but don't worry, I'll keep making art and having adventures!
